These state park
properties will re-open the morning after each two-day reduction. All
Indiana state park properties not mentioned will be operating under normal
hours.

Indiana DNR
biologists evaluate which state park properties require a deer reduction
each year, based on habitat recovery and previous harvest rates at each
park. The state parks are home to numerous natural communities that serve as
significant habitat. The deer reductions help control browsing by deer to a
level that ensures habitat for all plants and animals.

Only individuals
selected from the draw may participate in the reductions.

the 2017 reductions is at dnr.IN.gov/parklake/files/sp-DeerRMRR.pdf
